My biggest pet peeve with a lowered 4th Gen is the offset rear wheels.

I started talking to them about adjustable bars at about the same time they were thinking the same thing. Worked out great.
Here's a lower compared to stock.

And an upper.

Here's both bars installed.

And their adjustable panhard bar that I already had.

I added 3/4" to the length of the bars and dialed in 1.5* negative pinion angle to plant the tires a bit better....and now have centered rear wheels.

Spohn Performance makes them.
I can't tell ya how much they sell for....I dunno. I think I read about $600 for the set of 4 but I could be wrong.

what does the panhard bar do?

It lets you center your axle side to side...the axle is offset to one side on all these trucks, lowering them makes it look worse. This fixes that issue.

That's awesomeness. Please keep posting as I'm learning allot from your suspension expertise. Also spending to much dough.

are these parts a lot heavier than the stock ones? or is it a minimal difference?

So glad I came across this! Parts look amazing BTW! I'm looking to buy the non-adjustable versions as I don't plan on lowering or raising my Ram. My question is: how does your truck handle with the beefed up rear suspension? Less wheel hop? Keeping speed up in a turn? Just curious. I realize your truck will handle differently because it's lowered, but figure it has to help. Also, is the offset axle only an issue if the rear geometry is altered? Thanks in advance!
